did anyone els notice the swastica





i  find it odd it was put in though  we know ichigo  usualy has one  some place in  some form



It isn't a swastika that you are thinking of; ppl need to do some research before saying things about delicate subjects.

Ichigo's bankai hilt has it.

Oh look, yet another one who can't be bothered to learn about stuff he is reading.



Its a kanji meaning BAN



^ This; it is a Buddhist symbol with several meanings.

I must say, the Quincy are being hyped up as the most powerful enemies ever. I wonder if any of the captains will die in the coming battle without their Bankais?

Now what! =S

Really, really enjoyed this chapter. I wonder if only one Bankai can be absorbed at  time.



I still remember when Wonderweiss stole Yamamoto's bankai. He still beat his ass.



Wonderweiss did not steal. he sealed.



Quincies stole, that means that the bankai powers most likely are added to their abilities just like with Kirge and Allon.

So, I guess they need to destroy the thing that they use to absorb the Bankai.

Soifon's and Komamura's Bankai are just destructive power. Though it is a different story with Byakuya and Hitsugaya. They will have a hard time on this one.



I mentioned before, the Quincies are way too overpowered.

Ichigo's Bankai might not be sealed because of Fullbring recovery.



Though I won't be surprised if, the captains develop another Bankai. Ahaha.

Kenpachi really needs to save the day.

stealing bankai or rather i think the quincies steal any spiritual powers since that is how they are right? they absorbed spiritual powers from the environment





Reishi Absorption: Although Shingiami and Quincy both use Reiryoku when fighting, they both have a totally opposite fighting style. Shinigami use the spiritual power created from their soul in conjunction with a Zanpakutō to fight against the Hollows. You can say they fight using the power within. On the contrary, a Quincy uses the Reishi in the atmosphere, and combines it with his/her Reiryoku to create weapons. They fight using the power outside. They have an easier time collecting this energy in environments with higher concentrations of spiritual particles such as in Soul Society or Hueco Mundo

Eh, it was okay.



Also, is it me, or does this guy kinda look like Kaien?







I mean, can't see his face and all, but the mouth / chin / hair reminded me of him.
